doctor, is expressing concern about affordability. >> the most innovative pharmaceutical industry in the world. if the patient can't afford the innovation it's as if the innovation never occurred. obesity is a major issue in our country. if we have an affordable drug that can reduce obesity it is the for the benefit of the patient and us all. >> in some cases people pay 15 times more than canada and germany. the hearing should gavel in in the next couple of minutes. >> bill: interesting to follow. >> dana: fox news alert. moments away from president biden taking the stage at the united nations and what is likely to be his final major address before the general assembly amid the back drop of a world in much peril. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. good morning. that went fast. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer.

we hear this every year and wait for the words and message and a year ago certainly was a lot different than the reality on the grounds overseas now. biden has a few months left for his term. this image will not be easy. a series of major foreign policy conflicts breaking out during his term. afghanistan in 21, ukraine in 22. israel and gaza in 23. the u.n. secretary general condemned countries feeling entitled to invade others. >> today a growing number of governments and others feel entitled to get out of jail free card. they can thumb their nose at international humanitarian law and can invade another country, lay waste to societies or actively disregard the welfare of their own people.

and nothing will happen. >> dana: eric shawn is outside united nations headquarters in manhattan. what's the scene like down there? >> yes, president biden about to take the podium in the general assembly. you may hear the police helicopters that always signal the arrival of the commander-in-chief. across the street the protestors rally against radical islamic terrorism funded by iran. iranian president will take the same podium later this afternoon. in remarks to reporters he blames israel for the middle east conflict saying iran does not want to get into a war with israel. his predecessor was killed in a helicopter crash and has only been in office for a few months. the rhetoric from the islamic republic remains the same and unchanged. it keeps on funding its proxies, hamas, houthis, and, of course, hezbollah and the iranian president said they will continue to support hezbollah. telling reporters, quote, we keep defending them.

hezbollah fired a rocket, hezbollah or any other that wishes to defend their rights we defend righteousness and it isn't hezbollah that started the war, israel is hitting him. targeting them on a daily basis. that is not true. israel was attacked first in this conflict. at his hotel protestors gathered to blame iran and for targeting u.s. officials for death. there is an open assassination contract by iran against former president trump. secretary of state mike pompeo. national security advisor john bolton and other trump officials in retaliation for trump taking out iranian general coal soleimani in an air strike in 2020. the protestors here told us it is the iran regime that must end. >> we are here to denounce him. we are here to say he is not iranian representative. they are part of a tyrant regime

and they must go. by changing regime in iran and supporting regime change in iran we end terrorism in the middle east. >> he will speak in a few hours. it's ironic the same secret service that protects our president and former president trump, they are protecting him also while he is in new york for the general assembly meeting. back to you. >> dana: we do that responsibility well. >> bill: a ton to cover there today. secretary of state antony blinken could be held in contempt of congress if he doesn't show up today to testify for the house foreign affairs committee hearing on the botched afghan withdrawal. he is currently here in new york city for the u.n. general assembly. gillian turner is tracking this one down at the state department. >> the house foreign affairs committee is about to gavel into the hearing. the star witness, secretary of state antony blinken is in new york for the u.n. general assembly. so instead of moving forward

with this hearing we're told the committee is going to be begin the process to hold him in contempt of congress. chairman mike mccaul insists doing so will prevent a tragedy like what happened in kabul from ever happening again. listen. >> the american people, u.s. service members, veterans, and the gold star families who recently received the congressional gold medal here in the capitol deserve both transparency and accountability. those who support this resolution will deliver a vote. >> the committee and the state department have been trying to set a date now for more than four months. committee is alleging blinken was a key decision maker that led to the death of 13 service

members. the state department is saying -- is calling foul play accusing them of playing politics. >> the secretary has already testified before congress about afghanistan 14 times. he has testified before chairman mccaul's committee four times. >> some families of the 13 fallen insist the true details still are not known even today three years later. but democrats say that grilling blinken is barking up the wrong tree. >> says things that are patently false will not help them grieve, will not help them understand what happened. >> a couple hours this thing will go on, bill. it could make it to the house floor for a full vote, the contempt resolution later in the week. >> bill: we're watching president biden now enter the united nations. he will passion behind that wall and pop out the other side and begin his address momentarily.

>> dana: foreign policy is what he always wanted to focus on. a speech he probably didn't anticipate giving and thinking it would be his last but now we are going to have to deal with the fact there are all these conflicts around the world and we'll hear what he has to say. >> he will talk about the middle east. he will talk about ukraine and russia and he will talk about a 17 month old civil war in sudan. the back drop lies with the u.s. military. yesterday we'll send more troops to the region to join 40,000 already now stationed in the middle east and you are coming up toward the end of your term and not seeking another election here, dana. the "wall street journal" puts a fine point on this and they say middle east, ukraine, what is happening with china, etc. , all of this and more, they write, adds up to the worst decline in world order and the largest decline in u.s. influence since the 1930s. that is quite a sentence. >> dana: it is such an

interesting venue in which to give a speech. somebody who covered many of these is bret baier, our head honcho. there you are, good to see you. there is a lot going on in the world. hot spots all around and he is going to also mention everything that bill just said, china, then in our own hemisphere our southern border, of course, the problems in latin america and haiti in which the united nations finally was able to convince kenya to send troops to try to get a handle on haiti. a lot going on in the world that could affect us at home. >> you're right. president biden faces a big challenge in the speech of trying to stitch all that together and say he has it covered. they don't. and the biggest sentence that they've had over time about the situation in the middle east is to try to avoid a wider war, to try to avoid an expansion of the war between israel and hamas in

gaza but it's happening. it is happening. it's because of hezbollah but the response and what is happening on the ground is a real tineder box. this is environment president biden walks into the united nations in a diminished capacity because he is finishing out his term and no longer the nominee and what we've seen over the last months has not only affected domestic politics but also geopolitical analysis from other countries looking at us. >> bill: we were thinking about a year ago when he made the speech. 18 days before october 7th. and they were talking about the normalization between saudi arabia and israel. the abraham accords taking it one step further. biden was quoted as saying, he said if you and i ten years ago were talking about normalization with saudi arabia i think we would look at each other and say

who has been drinking what? think about where that peace movement and the region for the middle east has moved in the last 12 months. extraordinary and going in the wrong direction. >> it is. there was hope inside the biden administration as we look inside to where president biden will deliver that speech, very familiar back drop. that marble behind him. there was this sense that maybe they could resurrect the israel/saudi normalization. and then the situation with gaza, the situation with hamas post october 7th there. there was a hope maybe it would end quickly and get back on track. that hope is out the window now. everybody i talk to on all sides says there is no way with what they are seeing on the ground that anything gets done before the end of the biden administration. the question is whether this affects world politics but this election. we usually see the u.s. economy

driving the day but sometimes, dana will remember this from 2004, in a world affairs can affect an election one way or another. a feeling of safety whether families feel safe at home. >> dana: indeed that is one of the things. i want to thank you, bret, for being with us and staying with us. we have kurt volker, former nato ambassador. one of the things biden and kamala harris have done they've told bad actors in the world they have one word for them and the word is don't. the bad actors have done it anyway. biden is giving a different speech than he imagined he would have given four years ago. >> that's right. we have more crises in the world now than we had four years ago or eight years ago. this is a major war in the middle east, major war in europe. threats in asia and insecurity for sure in parts of latin america. in many ways, these are getting more and more connected. iran is providing the drones to

russia. russia is providing political cover for iran's war in the middle east. china is providing the tech for russia's war in ukraine. these are morphing into a more dangerous situation and a lack of deterrence to these wars to begin with. >> bill: the afghan withdrawal and they said not the way to do it. but when the ukraine war broke out about a year and four months later, i do believe, if i have my timeline right, that was august of 2021. ukraine war broke out in february of 2022. that war forced governments all over the world to pick a side and look who chose a side, russia went with russia, iran, north korea and china and that's the adversarial pact against us today. >> that's right. russia, you are right, saw the withdrawal from afghanistan as a lack of will on the part of the united states.

if we have people falling off of aircraft as they are taking off and we have americans stranded in kabul and won't rescue them, that's a signal to everybody we don't have the will. and that's what i think caused putin to decide he can go ahead and invade. what caused iran to decide it could unleash its proxies. >> dana: we have president biden approaching the lectern at the united nations. likely be his last big address to the world. let's listen. >> world leaders, today is the fourth time i have had the great honor of speaking to this assembly as president of the united states. it will be my last. i've seen a remarkable sweep of history. i was first elected office of the united states of america as a u.s. senator in 1972. i know i look like i'm only 40, i know that. [laughter] i was 29 years old. back then we were living through

an inflection point. a moment of tension and uncertainty. the world was divided by the cold war. middle east was headed toward war. america was at war in vietnam. at that point the longest war in america's history. our country was divided and angry and there were questions about our staying power and our future. but even then, i entered public life not out of despair but out of optimism. the united states and the world got through that moment. it wasn't easy or simple without significant setbacks but we go on to reduce the threat of nuclear weapons through arms control and then go on to bring the cold war itself to an end. israel and egypt went to war but then forged a historic peace.

we ended the war in vietnam. the last year in hanoi i met with the vietnamese leadership. we elevated our partnership to the highest level. a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the capacity for reconciliation. today the united states and vietnam are partners and friends. as proof even from the horrors of war there is a way forward. things can get better. we should never forget that. i've seen that throughout my career. in the 1980s i spoke out against apartheid in south africa and i watched the racist regime fall. in the 1990s i worked -- he was held accountable for war crimes. at home i wrote and passed the violence against women act to end the scourge of violence against women and girls not only in america but across the world

as many of you have as well. we have so much more to do especially against rape and sexual violence as weapons of war and terror. we were attacked on 9/11 by al qaeda and osama bin laden. we brought him justice. then i came to the presidency in another moment of crisis and uncertainty. i believed america had to looked forward. new challenges, new threats, new opportunities were in front of us. we needed to put ourselves in a position to see the threats, to deal with the challenges, and to seize the opportunities as well. we needed to end the era of war that began on 9/11. as vice president to president obama he asked me to work to wind down the military operations in iraq and we did, painful as it was. when i came to office as

president, afghanistan had replaced vietnam as america's longest war. i was determined to end it and i did. it was a hard decision but the right decision. four american presidents had faced that decision but i was determined not to leave it to the fifth. it was a decision accompanied by tragedy, 13 brave americans lost their lives along with hundreds of afghans in a suicide bomb. i think of those lost lives every day and all the military deaths over the long years of that war. many wounded in action. i think of their service, their sacrifice and heroism. i know other countries lost their own men and women fighting alongside us. we honor those sacrifices as well. to face the future i was also to rebuild my country's

partnerships to a level not previously seen. we did. we did just that from traditional treaty alliances to new partnerships like the coude with the united states, japan, australia and india. i know -- i know many look at the world today and see difficulties and react with despair. but i do not. i won't. as leaders we don't have the luxury. i recognize the challenges from ukraine, to gaza, to sudan and beyond. war, hunger, terrorism, brutality, record displacement of people. climate crisis, democracy at risk, strangers in our societies, the promise of artificial intelligence and significant risk. the list goes on. but maybe because all i've seen and all we have done together over the decades, i have hope.

i know there is a way forward. in 1919, the irish poet yates described a world, and i quote, where things fall apart, the center cannot hold, anarchy is loosed upon the world, end of quote. some may say those words describe the world not just 1919 but in 2024. well, i see a critical distinction. in our time, the center has held. leaders and people from every region and across the political spectrum have stood together and turned the page. we turned the page on the worst pandemic in a century and made sure covid no longer controls our lives. we defended the u.n. charter and insured the survival of ukraine as a free nation. our country made the largest investment in climate and clean

energy anywhere in history. always be forces to pull our countries apart and the world apart. aggression, extremism, chaos, cynicism, a desire to retreat from the world and go it alone. our tasks is to make sure that the forces holding us together are stronger than those pulling us apart. that the principles of partnership that we came here each year to uphold can with stand the challenges. that the center holds once again. my fellow leaders, i truly believe we're in another inflection point in world history. where the choices we make today will determine our future for decades to come. will we stand behind the principles that unite us? will we stand firm against aggression? will we end the conflicts that

are raging today? will we take on global challenges like climate change, hunger and disease? will we plan now for the opportunities and risks of a revolutionary new technologies? i want to talk today about each of these decisions and the actions in my view we must take. to start, each of us in this body made a commitment to the principles of the u.n. charter to stand up against aggression, when russia invaded ukraine we could have stood by and merely protested. the vice president harris and i understood that was an assault on everything this institution is supposed to stand for. and so my direction, america stepped into the breach providing massive security and economic and humanitarian assistance. our nato allies and partners and 50 plus nations stood up as well. most importantly, ukrainian people stood up.

i ask the people of this chamber to stand up for them. the good news is, putin's war has failed at its core aim. he set out to destroy ukraine, ukraine is still free. he set out to weaken nato, nato is bigger, stronger, more united than ever before with two new members, finland and sweden. but we cannot let up. we have another choice to make. will we sustain our support to help ukraine win this war and preserve its freedom or walk away and let aggression be renewed and a nation be destroyed? i know my answer. we cannot grow weary, we cannot look away. and we will not let up on our support for ukraine. not until ukraine wins a just and durable piece in the u.n. charter.

[applause] we also need to poll principles as we seek to responsibly manage the competition with china so it does not veer into conflict. we stand ready to cooperate on the urgent challenges of the good of our people and the people everywhere. we recently resumed cooperation with china to stop the flow of deadly synthetic narcotics. i appreciate the collaboration. it matters. it matters of con vick than the united states is pushing back against unfair economic competition and military could herrings against other nations in the south china sea and maintaining peace and stability in the taiwan straits and protecting advanced technologies so they can't be used against us

or partners. at the same time, we're going to continue to strengthen our network of alliances and partnerships across the indo-pacific. they are not against any nation. they are building blocks for a free, open, secure and peaceful indo-pacific. also working to bring greater measure of peace and stability to the middle east. the world must not flinch from the horrors of october 7th. any country would have the right and responsibility to insure that such an attack could never happen again. thousands of terrorists invaded and massacred more than 1400 people in homes and music festty call. despicable acts of sexual violence. 250 innocents hostage. i've met with the families and grieved with them. they are going through hell.

innocent civilians in gaza are also going through hell. thousands and thousands killed included aide workers, too many families dislocated, crowding into tents facing a dire humanitarian situation. they didn't ask for this war that hamas started. i put forward with qatar and egypt a cease-fire and hostage deal. it's been endorsed by the u.n. security council. now is the time for the parties to finalize its terms. bring the hostages home and secure security for israel and gaza free of hamas grip. ease the suffering in gaza and end this war. october 7th -- [applause] october 7th we've also been determined to prevent a wider war that engulfs the entire

region. hezbollah, unprovoked, joined the october 7th attack launching rockets into israel. almost a year later too many on each side of the israeli/lebanon border remain displaced. full scale war is not in anyone's interest. even though the situation has escalated. diplomatic solution is still possible. the fact remains the only path to lasting security to allow the residents from both countries to return to their homes along the border safely and that's what we're working tirelessly to achieve. as we look ahead, must also address the rise of violence against innocent palestinians in the west bank and set the conditions for a better future, including a two-state solution where the world, where israel enjoys security and peace and full recognition and normalized relations with all its neighbors, palestinians live in dignity in a state of their own.

[applause] progress toward peace will put us in a stronger position to deal with the threat posed by iran. we must deny oxygen to its terrorist proxies which have called for more october 7th and ensure that iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon. gaza is not the only conflict that deserves our out rage. sudan, a bloody civil war unleashed one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. 8 million on the brink of famine. hundreds of thousands already there. atrocities. united states has led the world in providing humanitarian aid to sudan and with our partners have led diplomatic talks to try the

silence the guns and avert a wider famine. the world needs to stop armies to speak with one voice and say stop tearing your country apart and blocking aid and end this war now. [applause] people need more than the absence of war. they need a chance. a chance to live in dignity. they need to be protected from the ravages of climate change, hunger, and disease. our administration has invested over $150 billion to make progress and other sustainable development goals. it includes 20 billion for food security. over 50 billion for global health. mobilize billions more in private sector investment. taken the most ambitious climate action in history.

we've moved to rejoin the paris agreement on day one. today my country is finally on track to cut emissions in half by 2030. on track to honor my pledge to quadruple climate financing to developing nations. $11 billion thus far this year. we've rejoined the world health organization donating 700 million doses of covid vaccines to country, we need to move against m pox and help african countries prevent and respond to that and donate 1 million doses of m pox vaccine now. [applause] we call on our partners to match our pledge and make it a billion dollar commitment to africa.

beyond the necessities of food and health the united states g7 and partners have embarked to deliver significant financing to the developing world. we're working to help countries build out infrastructure, to clean energy transition, to the digital transformation, to lay new economic foundations for prosperous future. it's called the partnership for global infrastructure and investment. you've already started to see the fruits of this emerge in southern africa and southeast asia and in the americas. we have to keep it going. i want to get things done together in order to do that we must build a stronger, more effective and more inclusive united nations. the u.n. needs to adapt and bring new voices and new perspectives. that's why we support reforming and expanding the membership of the u.n. security council. [applause]

u.n. ambassador just laid out our detailed vision to reflect today's world, not yesterday's. it's time to move forward. security council like the u.n. itself needs to go back to the job of making peace, brokering deals to end wars and suffering. [applause] stop the spread of the most dangerous weapons. of stabilizing regions from east africa to haiti to kenya-led mission working alongside the haitian people to turn the tide. we're also have a responsibility to prepare our citizens for the future. more technological change i argue in the next two to ten years than we have in the last 50 years. artificial intelligence is going to change our ways of life, our ways of work, and our ways of

war. scientific progress the pace never seen before. much of it could make our lives better. but a.i. also makes profound risks from deepfakes to disinformation to novel packages and bioweapons. we've worked at home and abroad to define the new norms and standards. this year we achieved the first ever general assembly resolution of a.i. to start developing global rules of the road. we're also announced the declaration on responsible use of a.i. joined by 60 countries in this chamber. let's be honest, it's just the tip of the iceberg. what we need to do to manage this new technology. nothing is certain about how a.i. will evolve or how it will be deployed. no one knows all the answers. my fellow leaders, it's with

humility i offer two questions. first, how do we as an international community govern a.i.? as countries and companies race to uncertain frontiers, we need an urgent effort to insure a.i.'s safety, security and trustworthiness. as it grows more powerful and more responsive to our collective needs and values. for the benefit of all must be shared -- second, when we insure a.i. supports the core principles that human life has value and all humans deserve dignity and make certain that the awesome capabilities of a.i. will be used to uplift and empower everyday people. not to give dictators more

powerful shackles on the human spirit. in the years ahead they may well be no greater test of our leadership than how we deal with a.i. let me close with this. even as we navigate so much change, one thing must not change, we must never forget who we are here to represent. we the people. these are the first words of our constitution. the very idea of america, they inspire the open words of the u.n. charter. i made the preservation of democracy a central cause of my presidency. this summer i faced a decision whether to seek a second term as president. it was a difficult decision. being president has been the honor of my life. there is so much more i want to get done. as much as i love the job, i love my country more. i decided after 50 years of

public service it's time for a new generation of leadership to take my nation forward. my fellow leaders, let us never forget some things are more important than staying in power. it's your people. [applause] it's your people that matter the most. never forget, we are here to serve the people, not the other way around. because the future will be won by those who unleash the full potential of their people to breathe free, to think freely, to innovate, educate, live and love openly without fear. that's the soul of democracy. it does not belong to any one country. i've seen it all around the world in the brave men and women

who ended apartheid, brought down the berlin wall. fight today for freedom, justice, dignity. we saw that universal need for rights and freedom in venezuela where millions cast their vote for change but haven't been recognized. it can't be denied. the world knows the truth. we saw it in uganda, lbgt activists demanding safety. we see in citizens across the world peacefully choosing their future from ghana to india to south korea. the power of we the people makes me more optimistic. since i was first elected to the united states senate in 1972 every age faces its challenges. i saw it as a young man, i see it today. but we are stronger than we

think. we're stronger together than alone. and what the people call impossible is just an illusion. nelson mandela taught us, it always seems impossible until it's done. it always seems impossible until it's done. my fellow leaders, there is nothing that's beyond our capacity if we work together. let's work together. god bless you all and may god protect all those who seek peace. thank you. [applause] >> bill: a message tore the dictators in the audience toward the end. a few highlights on ukraine, putin's war has failed. we will not let up on our support for ukraine. why the palestinians in the middle east he mentioned a state of their own and end the conflict for the hostages and the palestinian people.

on iran let's insure iran will not get a nuclear weapon. he said let's stand behind what unites us. i'm watching the room and i'm thinking what unites those in the room today. we're here with bret baier and kurt volker. what unites the room today when you think of the laundry list of items. >> we talk about countries predators on other countries, russia attacking and invading ukraine. you have sudan people fighting there. china that wants to take over taiwan and taking islands from the philippines and vietnam. i don't think there is a whole lot that unites this group now. if there is anything, it is the sense that there is no policeman anymore. nothing is stopping this. we can do whatever we have to do. it is a little bit the law of the jungle. >> dana: i felt like the speech felt like america, not the strong, america the limp. like limping out of the united

nations general assembly. that might feel harsh but how i read it. it felt like everything he said he could have said before. he defended the withdrawal of afghanistan. a tough decision but the right one to do. didn't really talk about anti-semitism, rampantly growing around the world. i thought some of his best lines came at the end. he also seemed to gather up some conviction rather than sounding angry. he sounded more convicted at the end of the speech as if it was glad it was behind him. >> i agree with you. i think his call for ukraine funding and not backing away from ukraine's fight was probably a solid point of that speech. he said it before but not in those terms saying we cannot grow weary or look away. this comes as this week president zelenskyy is going to come forward with some kind of plan that probably -- he calls it a victory plan.

involves a lot more aid, which is as we know, a big question mark here in the u.s. i agree with you, dana. it is a question about u.s. power and our influence to be able to stop or influence some of these things around the world. his first speech in 2021 in this very hall said that he did not want to have a new cold war. but we're seeing that on a number of different fronts. and he mentioned china but did not talk about taiwan. you know, you are looking at a president who leaves with many more hot spots than he came in with. he did also present himself as making this choice himself. in the end he did to pass the baton, but we all know, being through june 27th and everything after that, that it was a forced-upon action by his party. >> bill: yeah. mr. ambassador, just listening

to your commentary there reminds me of an old saw that bad people take advantage of weak leaders all the time. and you are making the case the past 3 1/2 years have been weak leadership. >> that's exactly right. the president did this long sweep of history and said things do get better. but things don't get better on their own. you have to make them better. you have to do something to change things. and you have to have purpose. what bret was just saying there about american power, it's american power and american purpose that power serves that can make the world better but only if we're willing to do so. it doesn't happen on its own. >> dana: can i ask you one last question, bret. what unites these people now? it is climate change. and there was a line that president biden had about how america is on track to lower its emissions by however much he said by 2030. i think he thought that would be

an applause line. nobody was clapping. they will never be happy enough with whatever he would do on climate change. >> that's right. we talked about this before on the world stage. when we do something, sign onto the paris accord, do whatever we do, there are always the questions about what china is doing and what india is doing outside of that negotiation when it comes to climate change. listen, i think this speech was a farewell to the world from president biden. i doubt he is going to give another big speech before the end of his term. and that's quite something if you think about where we were just weeks ago. >> bill: thank you, bret. see you at 6:00 tonight. thank you for being on. to the ambassador, before you get out of here, had a conversation with one of our colleagues earlier today. she is on the younger side. 25 and under. she said what's the purpose of the u.n.? i said that's a great question.

i said you have to go back 20 years to find the u.n. asserting itself in a part of the world where they brought value. so how much value is this world body now? >> there are two things it's good for. one a place to meet and talk. it is good to be able to have that dialogue. the second thing is the specialized agencies that really do work. we have the world health organization, international labor organization and international telecommunications, all the special liesed organizations they do good work globally. the two things we care most about. global peace and security the u.n. is broken. we have russia and china on the security council and they have a veto. we have a systemic anti-israel bias in the u.n. as well. that permeates the general assembly. it doesn't wield power uniformly because they are so divided. there isn't anything on the global peace and security that the u.n. is good at anymore.

we need to recognize we need to have meetings and we need to talk but we have to actually look at how countries that share our values, share interests in the world can actually exercise power responsibly to make the world a better place. >> bill: expectations are pretty low as of now. >> dana: thank you for being here. >> bill: police in new york are on high alert now in the big apple confronting a threat growing across america. a new gang, criminal organization out of south america and the concerns are growing by the day. dana. >> dana: chilling new details in the assassination plot against former president donald trump. what court documents are revealing about the suspect and trump's home in florida. >> for a month he might have been trying regularly and found that spot and then clearly had an intention to me looks like he intended to survive. . he thinks his flaky red patches are all people see. otezla is the #1 prescribed pill to treat plaque psoriasis. otezla can help you get clearer skin.

the sanctuary city status by shelters and that's where it begins. bryan llenas at one of the shelters right now. >> behind me is the largest of the 200 migrant shelters in new york city. inside these shelters the nypd tells fox the new gang tren de aragua, or tda is actively recruiting new members. they are selling drugs particularly something called pink cocaine and smuggling in guns through food delivery services to avoid metal detectors. >> we did see some intelligence that has been reported that sometimes there was smuggling guns through food cartons. do we believe there are guns in the shelters that have gang i filliation? absolutely. they were being smuggled in. >> the nypd says there are hundreds of tda gang associates city wide. not afraid to shoot at cops.

federal prosecutors say he left the letter in a box at his friends's house months ago. agents also found a handwritten list of past and future trump appearances. routh has yet to be formally indicted. if indicted on the specific charge 18usc351 it could put him behind bars the rest of his life. if he is indicted by d.o.j. it could the brakes on a state investigation and not what ron desantis, the governor and ashley moody, the attorney general down there want. we look at a classic fight between the state and the federal government. >> dana: turf war. thank you so much. a busy day on the world stage. more of "america's newsroom" right after this break. when high rate debt is stressing your budget. but your family's service has earned you a big advantage. the va home loan benefit. with the lower rate newday 100 va cash out loan, you can pay off high rate credit cards and car loans.
